Description

半導體元件及其製造方法 Semiconductor component and method of manufacturing same

本發明是有關於一種電子元件及其製造方法,且特別是有關於一種半導體元件及其製造方法。 The present invention relates to an electronic component and a method of fabricating the same, and more particularly to a semiconductor component and a method of fabricating the same.

為了提高積體電路的操作速度,符合消費者對於小型化電子裝置的需求,半導體裝置中的電晶體尺寸有持續縮小的趨勢。然而,隨著電晶體尺寸的縮小,電晶體的通道區長度亦隨之縮短,如此造成電晶體遭受嚴重的短通道效應(short channel effect)以及導通電流(on current)下降等問題。針對此問題,習知的一種解決方法是提高通道區中的摻質濃度,然而,此種作法反而會造成漏電流增加,影響元件的可靠度。 In order to increase the operating speed of the integrated circuit, in line with consumer demand for miniaturized electronic devices, the size of the transistor in the semiconductor device has continued to shrink. However, as the size of the transistor shrinks, the length of the channel region of the transistor is also shortened, which causes the transistor to suffer from severe short channel effects and a decrease in on current. A solution to this problem is to increase the dopant concentration in the channel region. However, this practice may cause an increase in leakage current and affect the reliability of the device.

為了克服上述問題,近年來業界提出將水平方向的電晶體結構改為垂直方向的電晶體結構的方案,舉例來說,將垂直式電晶體結構形成於基底的深溝渠中。如此一來,可以提升積體電路的操作速度與積集度,且能避免短通道效應等問題。然而,目前一般的垂直式電晶體在相鄰的兩個導電區(例如重摻雜區)之間的耦合效應愈來愈大,因而衍生寄生電容的問題。 In order to overcome the above problems, in recent years, the industry has proposed a scheme of changing a horizontal crystal structure to a vertical crystal structure. For example, a vertical transistor structure is formed in a deep trench of a substrate. In this way, the operating speed and the accumulation degree of the integrated circuit can be improved, and problems such as the short channel effect can be avoided. However, the coupling effect between the current two vertical conductive crystals in the adjacent two conductive regions (for example, heavily doped regions) is increasing, thus causing a problem of parasitic capacitance.

本發明提供一種半導體元件及其製造方法,可以降低相鄰的兩個導電區(例如重摻雜區)之間的耦合效應,減少寄生電容的問題。 The present invention provides a semiconductor device and a method of fabricating the same that can reduce the coupling effect between two adjacent conductive regions (e.g., heavily doped regions) and reduce the problem of parasitic capacitance.

接著,將以剖面圖來說明本發明的半導體元件的製造方法。在以下描述中,主要以沿一特定方向之剖面線所繪示的剖面圖來描述本發明,具體地說,例如沿著與圖1之II-II切線所繪示的剖面圖。 Next, a method of manufacturing the semiconductor device of the present invention will be described in cross section. In the following description, the invention will be described primarily in cross-section illustrations taken along a particular section of a particular direction, specifically, for example, taken along a line tangent to II-II of FIG.

圖2A至圖2D是根據本發明實施例所繪示的半導體元件製造流程的剖面圖。 2A-2D are cross-sectional views showing a manufacturing process of a semiconductor device according to an embodiment of the invention.

請參照圖2A,半導體元件的製造方法包括下列步驟。首先提供基底100。基底100例如為矽基底。每一柱狀物102的頂部可以具有頂蓋層114。頂蓋層114的材料與柱狀物102的材料不同。頂蓋層114的材料例如是氧化矽或是氮化矽。柱狀物102的形成方法例如是在基底100上形成頂 蓋材料層,然後利用微影製程圖案化頂蓋材料層以及基底100。執行蝕刻製程以在基底100中形成多個溝渠104。長AA柱狀物102由此形成,且頂蓋層114保持在每一長AA柱狀物102上方,如圖2A所示。 Referring to FIG. 2A, a method of manufacturing a semiconductor device includes the following steps. The substrate 100 is first provided. The substrate 100 is, for example, a crucible substrate. The top of each pillar 102 can have a cap layer 114. The material of the cap layer 114 is different from the material of the pillars 102. The material of the cap layer 114 is, for example, tantalum oxide or tantalum nitride. The method of forming the pillars 102 is, for example, forming a top on the substrate 100. The material layer is covered and the top cover material layer and substrate 100 are then patterned using a lithography process. An etching process is performed to form a plurality of trenches 104 in the substrate 100. A long AA pillar 102 is thus formed, and a cap layer 114 is held over each long AA pillar 102, as shown in Figure 2A.

接著,在每一長AA柱狀物102的側壁上以及頂蓋層114的側壁上與頂部上形成襯層108。襯層108的材料例如是氧化物、氮化物或其組合,且其形成方法例如為化學氣相沈積法。 Next, a liner 108 is formed on the sidewalls of each of the long AA pillars 102 and on the sidewalls of the cap layer 114 and the top. The material of the liner 108 is, for example, an oxide, a nitride, or a combination thereof, and the formation method thereof is, for example, a chemical vapor deposition method.

然後,進行離子植入製程,穿過襯層108,將摻雜植入於溝渠104的底部,之後進行熱驅入製程,使摻質擴散至長AA柱狀物下方,以形成連續的摻雜區106。摻雜區106的導電型態可與基底100相反。舉例來說,若基底100為p型基底,則可植入n型摻質,以形成摻雜區106;若基底100為n型基底,則可植入p型摻質,以形成摻雜區106。 Then, an ion implantation process is performed, through the liner 108, doping is implanted at the bottom of the trench 104, and then a thermal drive process is performed to diffuse the dopant under the long AA pillar to form a continuous doping. Area 106. The conductive pattern of doped region 106 can be opposite to substrate 100. For example, if the substrate 100 is a p-type substrate, an n-type dopant can be implanted to form the doped region 106; if the substrate 100 is an n-type substrate, a p-type dopant can be implanted to form a doped region. 106.

之後,請參照圖2B,以等向性與非等向性蝕刻的組合方式移除溝渠104底部的襯層108以及部分基底100,以在相鄰的兩個長AA柱狀物102的底部之間形成開口110,使相鄰的長AA柱狀物102下方的摻雜區106a彼此分離。 Thereafter, referring to FIG. 2B, the liner 108 at the bottom of the trench 104 and a portion of the substrate 100 are removed in a combination of isotropic and anisotropic etching to the bottom of the adjacent two long AA pillars 102. The openings 110 are formed to separate the doped regions 106a under the adjacent long AA pillars 102 from each other.

之後,在柱狀物102的表面、上述摻雜區106a的側壁以及基底100表面上形成間隙壁材料層120。間隙壁材料層120可與襯層108的材料不同。間隙壁材料層120的材料例如是氧化物、氮化物或其組合,且其形成方法例如為化學氣相沈積法。 Thereafter, a spacer material layer 120 is formed on the surface of the pillar 102, the sidewall of the doped region 106a, and the surface of the substrate 100. The spacer material layer 120 can be different from the material of the liner 108. The material of the spacer material layer 120 is, for example, an oxide, a nitride, or a combination thereof, and the formation method thereof is, for example, a chemical vapor deposition method.

其後,請參照圖2C,移除部分間隙壁材料層120,形成多個間隙壁120a。間隙壁120a使開口110底部的基底100表面裸露出來。移除部分間隙壁材料層120的方法可以採用非等向性蝕刻法,例如為乾式蝕刻法。 Thereafter, referring to FIG. 2C, a portion of the spacer material layer 120 is removed to form a plurality of spacers 120a. The spacer 120a exposes the surface of the substrate 100 at the bottom of the opening 110. The method of removing a portion of the spacer material layer 120 may employ an anisotropic etching method such as a dry etching method.

之後,請參照圖2D,摻雜區106a之間的開口110之中形成遮蔽層136。遮蔽層136與基底100電性連接。遮蔽層可以由下而上生成,例如, 利用選擇性磊晶矽成長。磊晶矽可以在成長時歷經原位(in-situ)摻雜,或者可以在之後摻雜,使其具有導電性。遮蔽層136的形成方法例如是將遮蔽材料層填入於開口110之中,再對遮蔽材料層進行回蝕製程。在這種狀況下,遮蔽材料層可為導體層,例如摻雜多晶矽或金屬。遮蔽材料層可以化學氣相沈積法或原子層沈積法形成。使用這兩種方法,可以控制遮蔽材料的頂部位置,以在不同的導電區域之間達到理想的耦合電容。 Thereafter, referring to FIG. 2D, a shielding layer 136 is formed in the opening 110 between the doping regions 106a. The shielding layer 136 is electrically connected to the substrate 100. The shielding layer can be generated from the bottom up, for example, Growth with selective epitaxy. The epitaxial germanium may be in-situ doped during growth, or may be doped afterwards to make it electrically conductive. The masking layer 136 is formed by, for example, filling a masking material layer into the opening 110, and then performing an etch back process on the masking material layer. In this case, the layer of masking material can be a conductor layer, such as doped polysilicon or metal. The masking material layer can be formed by chemical vapor deposition or atomic layer deposition. Using these two methods, the top position of the masking material can be controlled to achieve the desired coupling capacitance between the different conductive regions.

在後續的半導體元件製程中,沿著與長AA柱狀物實質上垂直的方向進行圖案化與蝕刻製程,每一長AA柱狀物均可形成一電晶體單元。由於電晶體單元的尺寸日漸縮小,因此電晶體單元的摻雜區(或導電區)間的耦合效應愈來愈大。根據本發明的製作方法,在摻雜區(或導電區)間形成遮蔽層,可降低相鄰的特徵間的耦合效應,減少寄生電容的問題。 In a subsequent semiconductor device process, a patterning and etching process is performed in a direction substantially perpendicular to the long AA pillars, and each long AA pillar can form a transistor unit. As the size of the transistor unit is shrinking, the coupling effect between the doped regions (or conductive regions) of the transistor unit is increasing. According to the fabrication method of the present invention, the formation of a shielding layer between the doped regions (or conductive regions) can reduce the coupling effect between adjacent features and reduce the problem of parasitic capacitance.

綜上所述,本發明在源極與汲極之間形成遮蔽層,具有遮蔽效應,可以降低相鄰摻雜區(或導電區)間的耦合效應,減少摻雜區(或導電區)間寄生電容的問題。 In summary, the present invention forms a shielding layer between the source and the drain, which has a shadowing effect, can reduce the coupling effect between adjacent doped regions (or conductive regions), and reduce the doping region (or conductive region). Parasitic capacitance problem.
